The state’s tourism, culture, environment, and climate change committee chairman Razali Idris said the probe would determine if the organisers had violated local guidelines and whether the necessary permits were obtained.

“We will investigate this matter first, and if it is found that the organisers violated the rules or any law, then we will take action,” he was quoted as saying by Utusan Malaysia.

Razali, who is also Bersatu information chief, was commenting on videos and footage on social media of attendees dancing at the party. Some of the women were seen dressed in bikinis.

According to social media postings, the Aloha Party featured several female DJs and a dance group. It was described as a celebration of “520”, an unofficial Valentine’s Day in China.

Razali said the resort owner would be summoned for an explanation of the event tomorrow, in a meeting to be attended by the Terengganu religious department and the mayor of Kuala Terengganu.

He also urged members of the public to come forward and provide information on the party.

“If there is proof that the event violated the law or that there were Muslims involved, please channel such information to the religious department for further investigation,” he said.
